Contribute in Cookbook-2 for Hacktoberfest: https://github.com/GDSC-NITH/Cookbook-2-Hacktoberfest
A cookbook in the programming context is collection of tiny programs that each demonstrate a particular programming concept. The Cookbook Method is the process of learning a programming language by building up a repository of small programs that implement specific programming concepts.
Here it does not matters, whether you are a beginner or an expert. Grab your coffee mug, take a sip and start your Hacktoberfest journey with us!!
We have got all domains for you. Your all valid contribution will be joyfully welcomed whether you are a developer or a competitive programmer. All you have to do is to pick a topic that is not added to the repository, study it, and then demonstrate the information in a Markup Documentation file as you usually see in the official docs or websites like GFG, Javapoint, etc.
Create a folder in the respective domain you want to contribute. The folder will be named after the topic on which you will be writing. Create a Markup Documentation file there and mention the following in that file:
- About the topic
- About all properties related to topic
- Link to official docs of that topic
- Important facts related to that topic (for eg. some default properties)
- Sample code
- Output of the sample code
- Resources
There should be precise information as we are not judging you on the basis of an essay competition. It should be easy to understand for anyone. You should go through multiple sources of information and study them well before submitting.
Remember that:- All your contributions before 31st October will only be fruitful in gaining you hacktoberfest swags.
